I’ve got a set which came of an R6. They are coloured black. The seal has blown on one side but you can make me an offer if you’re interested. They fit straight in, only the mudguard bracket needs some very minor modification

Still got those forks after all this time, S?
Apparently there's some design fault in the standard front forks that accelerates lower stanchion wear and eventually ruins them (metal on metal rubbing, which also fills the fork oil with alloy particles very quickly). Worth registering on the FZ1OA site to see this thread's pictures:

As mentioned, as alternatives you can either fit R6 5Sl forks:

or R1 USD forks:

Apart from those two, not much evidence of other alternatives
